Summary: A Great TV ...and More!
Review: I first saw this TV at a national electronics retailer who priced it more than $100 higher than Amazon. With exactly the right under-counter location and color scheme to match our counters and appliances, this was the TV for our kitchen. We now have ours in full view of the kitchen island and it's great! The picture is clear, the sound is great (stereo) and it was easy to install. It also has a really cool comptact remote with a magnet that you can just stick on the fridge with the rest of your fridge magnets. And, since the VE-640 also includes AM/FM radio and a speaker-phone, this is a full-featured unit that delivers great value and performance, considering the space it takes.

Summary: A Great TV ...and More!
Review: I purchased this unit and have found that the picture is good, but the sound quality is very poor. I know you can not expect home theatre sound from a very small unit, but I find that the sound sputters. To correct it I have to change channels and then come back to the channel I want. It works for a little while and then sputters again. Volume has no effect on this problem. I am on cable, and non of my other TV's have this problem so it is not the cable. Any one got any suggestions? Because I really do like the unit, but expect a little better sound quality for the price.Tks for any help, including some from Audiovox. Regards. duvallrp@hotmail.com

Summary: Poor warranty coverage - damaged product
Review: I received the Audiovox VE-640 as a Christmas gift, but my kitchen was being remodeled, so I was just able to get it installed. The antenna jack on the back of the unit was defective/damaged and the piece broke off when the cable company tried to screw in the cable line. Audiovox only provides a 90 day warranty on the product, which seems ridiculously short, and refuses to stand behind their product even when the unit is defective. It's going to cost me about $100 to repair it, plus the cost for the cable guy. I'm not a fan of Audiovox anymore and don't recommend their products.

Summary: No way to repair
Review: My unit failed in 3 months. My local repair shop was told by Audiovox that the power supply could not be replaced and a new board costing more than the set did new was the only recourse. The unit is now in the trash

Summary: Display stops working in less than 12 months
Review: Purchased in May of 2003, diplay stopped working within 6 months. Warranty only 90 days for parts and labor, not typical for TV's. Retailer will not repair. To repair, Audiovox requires repair payment $135.00, almost half of a on-sale replacement. Better to purchase a traditional TV that hangs from under the counter.

Review: So my wife wanted an undercabinet television to watch while she did her charting on the computer. Her desk doesn't have much space... I looked around, and the best I could find were the units by Audiovox. There was the 500, the 550, the 640, and the 1040 (with DVD). We really wanted the DVD, but the price was outrageous, and it was too big to fit under our cabinet. The VE-640 was about the right size! Although, with our 11 1/2" cabinet, it sticks out 1". You'll need 12 1/2" undercabinet clearance (with the connecting wires on back) to have it fit flush. We don't have cable, so we use an antenna. We get good UHF reception, but only a couple of VHF channels come in very good. The sound is a bit tinny, but adequate for tv viewing. I'm going to hook up a dvd player (it has RCA inputs) so my wife can watch her music videos. A few quirks... the sound doesn't always come on with the tv, until after I cycle through various modes (telephone, fm/am, etc.) I hope this unit continues to work for us... there really isn't a comparible product at this time. I've heard that the VE-640 will be discontinued, and a VE-700 will replace it... but I didn't want to wait for a rumor...

Summary: Short-Term Review of VE-640
Review: VE-640, purchased from Pop Pop Office machines through Amazon.com,was delivered 6 days after placing order (4 days before the first expected delivery date). I have had it only 5 days. Hooked it up initially to a rabbit ear antenna with reasonably good reception for channels 7 and above, poor reception for channel 4 & 5, and no reception for channel 2. Changed over to cable with excellent results. FM and AM also work well. I am very pleased with the unit so far, and will see if it remains operational over the next year, or fails as indicated by several of the other reviews.
